this week president obama went to new york to address united nations general assembly. he did so remarkably for an american leader from a position of weakness. mr. schilling: as the palestinian authority began to campaign at the u.n., this administration waivered and vacillated and did nothing for too long. this was a failure of leadership and leaves us, our israeli allies and the ever tense middle east at an uncertain crossroads. the president might have been able to rescue the situation with the forceful speech laying down a clear marker of america's support for israel. instead, he falsely blamed israel for the stalemated peace process. mr. hultgren: i have always believed that our relationship with israel is unique and critical to both countries. those beliefs were reinforced when i had the opportunity to visit with israel and meet with the prime minister in may. president obama must stand up, not only for israel and the israeli people but also for our commitment to the peace process and the rule of law. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields bac
